Iowa State University Library Preservation

Comments from the book artist: Organized preservation efforts at Iowa State University of Science & Technology (ISU) Library, began in the early 1980s and have since developed into a dynamic and vital aspect of the Library’s mission. The Preservation Department was established in 1991 and currently includes three functional units: Preservation Services, Digital Initiatives, and the Conservation Lab. The Preservation staff consists of two professional librarians, eight full-time staff, and three FTE student workers.
